Top ten tunes to drive to according to Planet Rock

Posted by Steve Orme on March 28, 2008 2:38 PM | 

Staying to the end of this week’s theme, radar and how we should all learn to love its application in traffic law enforcement, here is the top ten tunes to drive to as voted by toase decening isteners to Planet Rock, the digital radio station no one has ever heard of:

1. Radar Love – Golden Earring

2. Born to be wild – Steppenwolf

3. Highway Star – Deep Purple

4. Bat out of hell – Meatloaf

5. Highway to Hell – ACDC

6. Freebird – Lynyrd Skynyrd

7. More than a feeling – Boston

8. Born to run – Bruce Springsteen

9. Speed King – Deep Purple

10. Ace of Spades - Motorhead

Feel free to comment on any aspect of this listing. Like how Boston, collectively and as individuals, should have been strangled at birth and how anyone who thinks Ace of Spades is any good can’t possibly be fit to hold a driving licence.
In fact looking at it, only Springsteen, Meatloaf and Steppenwolf as any place in that top ten.
Radar Love? Good Lord, only if you think Tony Blackburn should do Formula One commentry.

Steve,

Rubish list of MOR tripe.
Straight out of the bargain bin at Quirks Records in Ormskirk.

Listen to these as you hurtle along the A59 on the road to enlightenment...

If looks could kill- Camera Obscura
Comedy - Shack
Something like you - Magical World of the Strands
Young manhood -The Wild Swans
Something on my mind - The Pale Fountains
Ha Ha i'm drowning - The Teardrop Explodes

Top Five for now, to help you unwind away from the worries of failing instrument clusters.

What do the other (possibly 3 or 4) blog readers think?

Also, should Steve match Nick Peet in his fitness challenge?
Come on Steve, dust off that old Ron Hill trackie in the boot of your car!!!!
